Anyone who gives you a cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven is a friend for life.
You meet people who are in pain in life and love and you forgive them for behaving the way they do.
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives.
There are many things in life that become different if you take a long look at them.
People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.

Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on the beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about more and more things you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps, and can only sit and stare at the gentle movements of the ocean waves or security guards, thinking too hard bout too many things to do anything else.

Book thirteen marks the return of a reptile previously gone missing.

It's full of depressing details about the children's lives, ... and, I'm sorry to say, it's the longest in the series. So in terms of total misery, it's quite a lot to deal with well, both in terms of the number of pages and the amount of misery per page.
